Dragon Flight

Good morning.

A quick blog to show one of my encaustic pictures that I produced while doing a demonstration at the shop in Stonehouse last Friday. These are my favourite sort of colours for fantasy encaustic pictures and I just love dragons. This is A5 in size mounted in an A4 border.

The dragons were produced from two rubber stamps using Stazon ink so as not to smudge the images when the molten wax was applied over the top. All of the wax work was done with an iron.

About Me

I work full time so crafting is only a hobby at the moment but I would very much like to turn it into a career. It is just a case of waiting for the right time.
I love rubber stamping, creating my own backgrounds using various techniques and many other forms of papercraft. Although I have done traditional scrapbooking for many years, I have also just discovered digital scrapbooking. If you would like to see some of my pages find DaisyTrail.com on the web and search for Shirl Freeman. Encasutic art is another favourite of mine. You can create some stunning pictures without being able to paint or draw, which I cannot do to save my life. My encaustic work ranges from small toppers for cards to A3 in size.
In "The Other Blog" I am going to keep away from papercrafting and use this one to present my other craft work such as altered art, paintings, stictching etc.
